Canada eked out a 1-0 win at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament on the weekend, but the fact Team USA got to the final speaks very well for America’s hockey future. You see, the Yanks don’t send the traditionally strong NTDP kids to the Ivan Hlinka. Instead, they use the Czech/Slovakian showdown as a sort of reward for other young Americans affiliated with USA Hockey.

So basically, the competition got dusted by some very good – but not all of the very good – players from the U.S. But there’s plenty of news from the prospect world to catch up on, so here’s a look at some of the kids we’re excited to see in the NHL one day.
